Wait ... is a pitcher singing the national anthem? Pirates' Steven Brault on 'The Star Spangled Banner'

On June 19, 2018, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Steven Brault sang the national anthem before a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He crushed it, which should come as no surprise given his background.

Growing up outside of San Diego, Brault (rhymes with "salt," not with "so") started performing as a kid. His first show was "Rip Van Winkle," which led to roles in "My Fair Lady," "Guys and Dolls," and (of course) "Damn Yankees." In high school, he joined the choir and fronted a rock band called Off the Water (you can still find their tunes on Spotify).
